Engineering closure – still waiting for details

August 5, 2007

As advertised in the Booking Office the entire Atherton line will be closed from 25 August to 3 September while Network Rail carry out engineering works.

Network Rail have been asked to lower the height of the tracks at Walkden (to reduce the high step onto the trains) but we don’t yet know whether they will do it or not. There are no further details on the National Rail website yet, nor information about the bus replacement services.
